[ale] linux friendly isp for dsl

[Smeadspam]

I believe Speedfactory  is Tango Uniform.  They had their phone numbers 
go out Thursday. Not just the main number but the entire block of DID's 
as well as fax + alternate 678 dial up numbers.  My Internet connection 
went down on Friday at 10:00 am and that's when I found the DID's out.  
So I took a little drive up to the office and the single poor soul up 
there let me know about the extended phone outage.  He'd been promised 
resolution by Thursday 8pm EDT.  As of today, you cannot call them 
locally. One has to call the CA number.  I called the CA office Friday 
and was told they were working on the issue and that a Tech VP would 
call back.  Riiigggghtt.  You should have seen how many people walked 
into their office Friday really peeved.  So I had to go Bellsouth 
Extreme.  Not a perfect solution but I'm up.
